"As a leader in the outdoor industry, we feel compelled to help our friends in Nepal with whatever resources we can offer. We are urging our peers in the outdoor industry to do the same, and recognize that many have already. We are promoting our work with the Seva Foundation as a way to ask others in the industry who haven’t had a chance to secure a relief resource to help support this very needy cause,” said Bill Kelly, group vice president of Johnson Outdoors and general manager of Johnson Outdoors Gear LLC which makes and markets Eureka brand products.

“We are grateful to Eureka! and Johnson Outdoors for its timely response to such an enormous relief effort we have underway in Nepal. We are hoping that by promoting their participation in the program it will help spread the word about our efforts in the country,” said Jenny Dubin, producer, National Geographic’s Explorer series. “With many volunteers on the ground in Nepal, the Seva Foundation is a great resource to deliver desperately needed assistance to those suffering without shelter. We are hoping to quickly reach as many as we can before monsoon season hits. We encourage all who are interested – within the outdoor industry and beyond – to join our cause.”
